IndependenceIT’s integration with vCloud Air, a cloud platform built by software and service provider VMware, and vCloud Director, a cloud computing management tool, significantly extends the company’s ability to further develop its control panel and orchestration layer so it is more user friendly with a wider range of functionality. VMware customers can now deploy the Cloud Workspace Suite on-premises or within a vCloud Air environment using the cloud management tools provided with either the suite itself or through vCloud Air APIs. The resulting solution is vital in harmonizing everything involved with platform automation, control and management to boost operational efficiency and lower costs.

This, complemented by the ability to deploy Cloud Workspace Suite on any cloud or hypervisor, is unique among WaaS platforms. The report spells out these advantages and how they can positively impact those deploying these types of solutions.”
